THE SMILE OF TERROR
.
Chapter 13
.
Tom was becoming less and less
available for Cathy and every time she saw him he was
with Leah his
girlfriend.
However one afternoon he decided to
visit her, she was very happy.
“I thought you had completely
forgotten about me” she said. Tom looked at her and
assured her
that such would not happen.
She felt happy.
“You are my friend, now tell me, what
do you like about Leah” she asked.
“Are you sure am really supposed to answer that? ”
“Ofcousre ” she answered
“Well” he said clearing his throat
“she is sweet, loving, caring and very
understanding, I ve never met an
amazing woman like her” She sent him a questioning look
and
he added “Ofcousre you are amazing”
She chuckled and hit him lightly on
the shoulder.
“And she loves me very much” he
said “And you? ” she asked “do you love
her or she dragged you into the
relationship” she said deliberately
knowing that Leah is the one who
made advances towards Tom
“Yes, I love her very much” he answered quickly. Cathy hid
the
disappointment in the smile.
“Well I dont like her that much,
guess I will get to see her good side
when I interact more with her” she
said bluntly. Tom could see jots of jealous in her
eyes and he laughed inward.
“So how is your boyfriend? ” he
asked deliberately seeing that she
seemed to be giving him some
greenlight “Well” she said giving a deep sigh,
“we broke up” she used the
opportunity to tell him how single
she was and how she was not going
to forgive him.
Tom sympathised with her and told her that she would
find a better guy
somewhere somehow in the future.
And that was the clear indication to
Cathy that Tom felt absolutely
nothing for her and she had to give
up on the hopes she was clinging on to.
Shortly he received a phone call and
minutes later there was a knock at
the door.
“That should be Leah” said Tom
“You told her to come here? ” asked Cathy and reluctantly
went to open
the door.
Leah entered and sat next to Tom.
“Cathy I have come to ask for your
calculator” said Tom
“Alright” answered Cathy sharply “you want to use it for
how long? ”
Tom turned to Leah and whispered ”
babe for long? ”
“Ohh I lent it to my friend and she
didn’t bring it back, I forgot” said
Cathy quickly before Leah could answer.
Tom looked at her suspiciously and
she looked back at him.
After leaving her room , she threw
herself on the bed.
‘I hope they didn’t notice that I just didn’t want to give
them my
calculator ‘ she sighed
‘Why wouldn’t they when it was so
clear that you just didn’t want to help
them because it’s Leah who needed
it’ said an inner voice “Well who cares” she said loudly
rolling on the bed “is it my fault that
he proposed to a girl without a
calculator, am I a charity
organisation. What does she always
use? ” In the evening she received a phone
call from Alfred. It was the same old
story of apologising and asking for a
second chance. With Tom having
slipt through her fingers, she decided
to give Alfred another chance and he was very happy.
An hour later Isabelle received a call
from Alfred but she was too scared
to pick it, not knowing what to
expect.
They had not communicated from the time she sent the
photos to Cathy.
Her phone rang again but this time it
was a message from Alfred
“Come home as soon as you can. I
am done with Cathy, she doesn’t
trust me and I think she has another boyfriend at school
and she is a
hypocrite”
Isabelle could not believe it.
“Ehh you look happy, what’s the good
news”, asked Lucy when she came
back to the living room with a cup of water
” I dont think I still need that water, I
have to go home now and prepare,
Alfred and I are back together, he has
just confirmed that he has broken up
with Cathy” she said proudly “I have to go and wear my
beautiful
black dress” she said rolling her
eyes
“Wow thats good news my friend”
she said sadly. She wasnt for the
idea. “But why do you want to wear a long dress? ”
“I have to look marriage material” she
answered.
Lucy could not help but laugh
“Have you fallen in love with Alfred? ”
“Well yeah, if you put it that way” answered Isabelle.
Lucy could not hide the shock,
hearing her friend talk about love and
marriage was a miracle.
Isabelle called love a weakness and
said marriage was for losers and now she wanted to
prove that she was a
marriage material to Alfred?
She went home and prepared herself,
she looked beautiful , her complexion
glowing against the black dress.
She started off for Alfred’s home. She stood at the door
making sure she
looked perfect before she knocked
Alfred opened as soon as she
knocked , as if he was standing at
the door waiting for her knock.
“You look so gorgeous baby” he said as he pecked her
cheek. He led the
way to the living room.
“Be comfortable, its your house” he
told her. He opened the fridge and
asked what she wanted.
“A soft drink” she answered “Hmm what happened to hard
drinks,
dont drink anymore? ” he asked
“Yep, I stopped” she said biting her
lower lip.
He brought two bottles of Savannah
dry “This is the softest drink in the
house”‘

THE SMILE OF TERROR
.
Chapter 12
.
Cathy struggled to download the
photos that the stranger had sent on WhatsApp. Her heart
was beating very
fast
“I don’t understand why am so
nervous and this network is tripping”
said Cathy
Kay glanced at her. “Are you suspecting anything? ”
Cathy shook her head.
“Then why the panic? ”
Cathy decided to go to the school
library and use the school wifi.
It was very strong and as soon as she reached there, she
downloaded
all the pictures.
She held back the tears as she
zoomed them to be sure they were
not pic mixed.
It was Alfred her dearest boyfriend, in bed with a girl, half
naked.
‘Who is this girl’ wondered Cathy but
her curiosity was satisified by the
last two photos.
‘I know this girl, I saw her
somewhere, who is she? Then she remembered who it
was, it
was Isabelle.
“I knew this would happen , I knew it
would, Kay warned me”
She went back to the room where
she wept and mourned. “Cathy you are crying like you just
lost a relative, its just a break up for
christ’s sake” scolded Kay.
“I loved him Kay, I did. Its as bad as
death ” Cathy had abstained from
eating and books and classes. She could not believe it.
They had made strong promises to
each other, it was hardly 3 months
and there was already that drama.
She forwaded Alfred all the pictures
and texted him to be online. As soon as he turned on the
data
bundles, the messages flooded his
inbox, messages expressing her pain,
sorrows, disappointment . He went
through each and every message
twice and slowly to make sure he got every word.
His heart missed beats after opening
the photos.
“That bitch! That bitch” he said in
gritted teeth. “I will kill her, I will
crush her” Isabelle on the other hand was
priding hereself to Lucy about her
ability to take revenge within the
given time.
“By now, I suppose they are not
talking to each other” she said. And she was right. Cathy
had
blacklisted Alfred and gave herself a
week to mourn her loss.
“Am the loser, yes it turns out that
am the loser. ” she muttered to
herself. On a Friday afternoon Tom came to
see her. He hadn’t visited her the
entire week.
“You have abandoned me”
complained Cathy “aren’t we friends
anymore? ” she forced a smile. “Ofcousre we are, I could
never
abandon you, it was just school
work. However I have decided to
make it up to you, so I want us to go
for a movie today” he said.
“Oh really” she said with so much excitement and
involuntarily gave him
a hug.
“Your eyes are a bit swollen Cathy,
anything the matter” asked Tom
tracing her eye lids with his finger.
“Oh yes, I haven’t slept for days, I had so many
assignments which kept
me up all nights. ” she lied
“You are so hardworking”
complimented Tom.
“Come to my room, at 7pm we go,
you are the one to choose the movie today. ” said Tom.
He went back to his hostel and Cathy
walked him out
“Oh thank goodness. He still likes
me, he likes me , oh he likes me. ”
she said to herself as she bathed in the shower. “Alfred go
to hell and
never come back. When one door
closes, another opens. Such good
timing. Oh Alfred I loved you so
much” and she started crying, letting
the water from the shower wash away the tears.
Kay was shocked to see her friend so
live. She wore a beautiful blue dress
and put some make up.
“I got your foundation ” Cathy told
Kay. “You look too good, is all this just for
a movie or you will have dinner
afterwards” asked Kay. Cathy looked
at her friend and laughed
“Your smile is really captivating” said
Kay “Oh no, even women have started
noticing that. Hope you have no
intentions of raping me” they both
gigled. Putting on a much serious
face, Kay said
“Do you think Tom still loves you? What about the other
girl? ”
“Well its either there was never any
girl, he just wanted to make me
comfortable with our friendship, the
guy doesn’t want to lose me. or the
girl was there but disqualified, Tom doesn’t tolerate
certain levels of
stupidity that most girls posses”
Cathy started off to Tom’s room. She
could feel that she was looking
extremely beautiful, she couldn’t help
notice the guys staring at her” She knocked at the door
and Tom
opened the door.
He stood there speechless. Cathy
smiled and Tom could feel his
insides melt.
“Won’t you let me in” “Oh yeah, please enter, you look very
beautiful, I would think am taking you
to a beauty contest”
Cathy smiled again and wondered if
she had over beautified herself.
His roommates greeted her and their admiration looks
towards her were
very clear.
Tom offered her some juice and after
minutes she asked if they wouldn’t
be late as they only had 10 minutes
before the beginning of the movie. “Okey just a minute” he
told her
He made a phone call and minutes
later, there was a knock at the door.
“Oh you may come in” said Tom to
the lady who stood outside.
She was wearing a simple black flared dress and a pink
jacket on top.
“Baby this is my friend Cathy, Cathy
this is my girlfriend I told you about,
she is Leah”
Cathy’s stomach churned at the
words. “Hai nice to meet you” said Leah but
Cathy wasn’t hearing her. Her vision
was becoming blurred and her
hearing had become impaired. She
closed her eyes tightly.
“Are you okey? ” asked Tom Cathy opened her eyes and
smiled.
“Yes I am” she finally answered
opening her eyes. “Those sleepless
nights have left me with a headache”
she answered.
After giving her a cup of water, they started off, she had
told them that
she was very fine.
All the time Cathy was trying to nurse
her second heartbreak and at the
same time analysing Leah.
She was tall and very light. “That doesn’t look like her
natural
complexion” thought Cathy “she is so
skinny, and the ears are so big, what
exactly did Tom see in her. She also
looks older than him and she is taller
than him” “Cathy” called Tom
She came back to reality only to find
that they had almost reached.
“Are you sure we shouldn’t just
cancel this date and come some
other day? ” Cathy told them that she wasn’t
feeling too well and needed to go
back. They all went back . Leah had
her hands locked in Tom’s
“So clingy” thought Cathy.
She went directly to sleep and ignored all Kay’s questions.
No Alfred no Tom, how could life be
so cruel.
“I will be going to bae’s house this
weekend, I will see you on monday”
announced Kay . When Cathy was finally alone she
gave herself time to cry, for her first
break up which was hurting so much
now and her second disappointment
which almost took her life.
It was a week from the day she had received the
messages and she had
ignored any strange call or calls from
Jane.
She wanted to get over Alfred as
soon as possible but with Tom being
with another woman, she was gripped with so much
loneliness.
She tossed from side to side bringing
into remembrance the early days of
her relationship with Alfred, the love,
the kisses, the promises.
She let herself feel all the pain and cried until she fell
asleep. Sobbing in
her sleep.
The following day, she romoved
Alfred from the blacklist and
unblocked him on social media. He
had written her several texts apologising and asked her to
hear
him out.
It made her quete happy but did not
heal the broken heart or erase the
pain. He immediately called and gave
his explanation. It was the most unconvincing explanation
Cathy had
ever heard.
“Your phone was picked by a man,
so I went to drink beer, I found
Isabelle there, I got too drunk, she
took me home, and took pictures of us without my
knowledge” she
repeated after him after the
conversation. “He can’t even come
up with a better lie”
She had refused to forgive him and
ended the relationship. Everything about her changed, she
bacame very
aggressive and impatient and
couldn’t concentrate much on school
work. Only the name Tom brought
her happiness mingled with pain.
“Am sorry but I don’t like your girlfriend” she had
genuinely told
Tom.

THE SMILE OF TERROR
.
Chapter 11
.
A month had passed and Tom had
grown so fond of Cathy. He felt great when people started
speculating that they were seeing
each other.
However he could see that Cathy had
surrounded herself with a strong wall
that seemed hard to penetrate “You are a man and you
have to tell
her how you feel” his friend had
advised him.
However it wasn’t that easy with
Tom, he had never proposed love to
a woman before, what if she turned his proposal down
and come to hate
him, what if it would cost their
friendship, he couldn’t imagine losing
her completely.
Just when the guys had finished
pushing him to take a step, there was a knock on the
door.
It was Cathy. His heart beat very fast
upon seeing her.
“I didn’t expect you here” he said
ushering her in
“Does that mean am not welcome? ” “No it means am
very happy” he said
“Well I have come to invite you for a
movie this evening” she said.
He looked at her in disbelief
“I hope you can stay away from
books for just an hour” she added This was the time, his
friends had
told him to utilise it.
He started preparing himself three
hours before the appointed time.
He wore his favourite blue jean and a
white T-shirt with white sneakers. Cathy wore her pink
birthday dress.
“Oh my you look so handsome, I
can’t believe I ve been hanging
around such a handsome man,
nowonder every girl has their eyes
on you, its not just your brains but your looks too” said
Cathy and she
meant it.
Tom had nothing to say, hearing
those words from the woman of his
life was the best thing to have ever
happened to him. He simply smiled and said thank you.
He had such a bright smile.
Cathy feared that she was falling for
him. They watched the movie and
Cathy could not take her hand off his
arm and Tom froze through out the movie. His mind was
just on the
hand that had held his arm so well.
After the movie he gathered the
courage and told her what he felt for
her.
“I’m very sorry Tom if I was giving you any hope. I had no
idea you felt
that for me. I would have loved to be
with you but I have a boyfriend” she
said
Tom had never asked if she had a
boyfriend or not and allowed himself to blindly fall for her.
He blamed
himself for that.
They walked without talking for some
minutes, then Tom started narratiminutes, then Tom
started narrating
how interesting the movie was.
“Next time its me to invite you also. We still friends right?
” He asked
Cathy smiled and nodded her head
and they parted ways after he
escoted her to her hostel.
There is no doubt that she felt
something strong for him. She wished she was single,
Tom didn’t
drink while Alfred did, Tom was
committed at church while Alfred was
not and Tom would never cheat while
Alfred had cheated on her.
The character of Tom seemed to outweigh that of Alfred
but she had
to be loyal and faithful to Alfred
nomatter what.
Around 11 pm Alfred called Cathy but
the phone went unanswered. He
called again and there was no response. That was very
unlike her.
When he called for the third time, he
sighed when she picked up , all the
anger had vanished and instead he
felt very happy but his happiness
was short lived. It wasnt Cathy answering but a man.
“Sorry Cathy left her phone in my
room” said Tom hoping it wasnt her
father
Alfred hang up and went to the
nearest bar. Cathy must have had unknowingly
put her phone in Tom’s front pocket
of the T-shirt at the movie and he
had not felt it.
“My oh my, is this how prayers are
answered. Before I could even put to effect my plan B”
said Isabelle when
she saw Alfred entering the bar.
He came to sit right next to her
though he didn’t recognise her
“Wooh what a face” shouted Isabelle
against the high sound of the music He looked at his right
and saw her,
he quickly stood to leave but she
pulled him back
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to chase
you” she said “about last time ,
please forgive me, such a thing will never happen again”
she added
He ordered for some beer and he
finished four bottles within minutes.
He then turned to Isabelle and said
“Do all women do that? Do they all
leave their phones in men’s bedrooms”
Isabelle had no idea what he was
talking about but she was sure it was
in reference to Cathy
“Taking your frustrations on the
bottles won’t help. You need to calm and call her
tomorrow, Cathy is a
good woman and you should not be
too quick to conclude on things you
have little information about” said
Isabelle
Alfred looked at her for some moments and then laughed
out loud.
“You are very funny” he finally spoke
“On whose side are you? ”
But she simply smiled
He drank as much as he could until
he could not even open his eye lids. “I can’t believe I
wanted to commit
my life to a drunkard like you” said
Isabelle walking Alfred back to his
house, with her hand around his
shoulder to support him.
They reached home with difficult, she searched his
pockets and found the
keys, she opened the door and led
him to his bedroom.
“A man who finds solace in the bottle
is not good for a husband. Mum
always told me that” she told him but he was already
snoring.
She went to the other bedroom and
slept.
The following morning, Alfred could
not remember much from the
previous night. “You forced yourself on me, if I fall
pregnant be ready to be a father” said
Isabelle
Suddenly Alfred was filled with
panick, he forced himself to
remember but all he could remember was that he was at a
bar drinking
and sitting next to Isabelle. He had
an idea that Isabelle had taken him
home but it wasn’t vivid. whatever
happened afterwards he couldn’t
remember . Everything was like a story told in sleep.
“I’m joking” she said “I could have
raped you though if I wanted to. You
were a mess yesterday. What exactly
happened to you? ”
Alfred narrated how a guy had picked Cathy’s phone the
previous night .
Isabelle laughed at his jealousy and
told him that it could have been
something other than her cheating.
Just then he received a call from
Cathy apologising and explaining how she had forgotten
her phone in
Tom’s room.
However she was careful not to
mention about the movie.
Even though it wasn’t convincing
enough, he decided to accept the story
A couple of weeks later Tom and
Cathy were having some snacks in
the school park when Tom burst into
a very wide smile which shocked
Cathy. “What’s that? ” asked Cathy
“I think I have found someone who is
similar to you Cathy” said Tom. “I
have a girlfriend now” he said
excitedly
“Oh really? So quick, congrats buddy” said Cathy.
She couldn’t hide the
disappointment. For some reason,
she had some hope that they would
end together.
“She liked me but I always ignored her. I decided to give it
a try and she
is awesome” he said now sounding
like a school boy who just got
everything correct for the first time.
Cathy smiled but it was a smile of
hurt. She knew she had fallen hard in love with him.
“You have Alfred be happy for Tom,
you have Alfred be happy for him”
was ringing in her head but she
couldn’t help feeling sad.
“Escort me back to the hostel, I think I have forgotten my
phone again” she
told him.
When she got back she found a lot of
WhatsApp messages from a strange
number with loads of pictures.
“This network can make you commit suicide” she
complained bitterly as
she tried to download the photos but
the network was bad. Finally she
managed to download them and she
wished she had not, she wished her
phone had gotten lost and she wished that she wasn’t on
WhatsApp.

Chapter 10
.
“So what are your plans for the poor
guy? ” asked Lucy, Isabelle’s best friend.
Isabelle and Lucy were two closest
friends with absolutely different
characters which left people to
wonder what bonded them to one
another. Isabelle was tall and light skinned,
very thin with love for boys, or
should we say men? Yes she liked
men though she had never been in
love before. Not because the guys
she hooked up with were not good enough but because
she believed
that men are very unstable.
“You can put a man in the palm of
your hand and toss him in whichever
direction you want and he will obey.
Any woman has that power but only few know it” she had
explained to
Lucy why she would never settle for
only one man
“He is in your bossom today and
tomorrow he is in another woman’s”
Lucy on the other hand , never took life for granted, being
brought up by
an aunt and an abusive uncle had
taught her to be very hard working
and hate men. Partly because of how
ill Isabelle spoke of them that she
had concluded that nothing good can come out of a man.
She had started
working at a Spar as a general
worker after completing school to
raise money for college.
“You know what” Isabelle started “I’m
going to teach Alfred a lesson. He embarrassed me so
much in front of
that girl and made me look like a
loser. He has no idea what he has
put himself through, and you know I
think he is scared of karma, he has
been texting to ask how I am. ” she told her friend and
before she could
say anything , her phone rang
“Its him” she said excitedly as she
put her finger on the green button.
“Hello,,, am fine Alfred, how are
you,,,, , yes I know,,,,,,,, I already forgave you, am happy
that you are
happy, we dont have to be enemies,
we can be friends,,, alright bye”
“He has signed a death sentence”
muttered Isabelle, “as long as I act
cool, all will be well” “You must be really crazy man, you
can’t continue doing this, she already
forgave you, why are you still
chasing her around? ”
Frank had been against the idea of
Alfred begging for forgiveness from Isabelle. He always
prided himself in
his ability to know what women are
up to.
“She will seduce you until you give
in to her, then she will make sure
you get her pregnant, and everything about you will be
ruined. Think about
the future you ve planned with Cathy”
said Frank.
But to Alfred he was just being over
imaginative because he would never
give her chance to seduce him and he was very content
with Cathy, no
woman had ever touched his heart as
Cathy had.
Cathy had found school work to be
harder than she had expected, lab
works, tutorials, and long lectures. Sometimes she didn’t
have time to
prepare food.
“I was that busy in first year” said
Kay her roommate.
“I honestly admire you, you look so
young and yet you are almost completing, ” Cathy said
with young and yet you are almost completing, ” Cathy
said with so
much admiration. Communication
with Alfred had been very intact
despite her busy schedule.
“I think Tom is in love with you” said
Kay. The words took Cathy by surprise,
she had never expected such to
come from her friend. Tom was a
monk and everyone knew that, Thats
the reason they had actually
nicknamed him ‘monk’. He never wanted anything to do
with
women. To him women are vipers,
atleast thats what his father taught
him.
He was abandoned by his mother
when he was still very young because his father had left all
the
responsibilities on her shoulder.
He was always drunk and never
wanted to work and earn some
money.
However his father had left that part in his narrations and
Tom only heard
it from his aunties. From that time
his father was forced to quit drinking
and start working very hard for his
son.
“Women always want something for them to form a
relationship or a
friendship” Tom had always told his
friends.
This had become even more evident
at the university when the females
begun flocking to him, looking for answeres to
assignments and
solutions to past paper exams.
Its like the more he wanted to stay
away, the more he attracted them. He
was very intelligent and he won the
popularity on campus. Few girls had openly confessed
their
love but he greatly despised such
behaviours and he had bluntly
rebuked them and told them to keep
off.
“Everyone knows he is a monk” exclaimed Cathy.
She had managed to form a
friendship with Tom , she did what
no other girl did.
Tom was in his second year but
Cathy had called him buddy after two times of meeting
accidentally.
He liked the idea and felt that Cathy
had no evil intentions and therefore
qualified to be his friend.
“How did you even manage to make
him your friend. Every girl on this campus has an eye for
him but the
way he rejects proposals would scare
you to death” explained Kay.
Cathy too didn’t know how they had
become friends. He was frequently
visiting her and there were murmurs that they were dating.
“So aren’t you anxious about what
will happen if she disvirgins you? ”
Tom ‘s friends teased him. He had
told them that Cathy was just a friend
but no one would believe that because he never had a
female friend
before. He however had come to
learn that there was a good side of
women.
“Even if he proposed I wouldn’t
accept because I have Alfred” said accept because I have
Alfred” said Cathy.
Kay had been against her
relationship with Alfred after she had
told her about Isabelle.
She had tried to make her believe
that in her absence, Alfred had gone back to Isabelle. In
as much as
Cathy hated the idea, her mind
entertained it and seemed true but
she vowed to suppress such ideas
as much as she could because they
were fake. “One whole year without closing and
you think Alfred will wait that long
without getting a kiss. Just find one
here so that incase Alfred
misbehaves which is very obvious,
you won’t commit suicide” Cathy knew that her friend had
the
right to say anything against Alfred
because she was in a better
relationship.
Kay’s boyfriend was one hell of a
dude, dark, masculine arms, broad chest and coffee black
complexion.
Cathy had never stopped wondering
how Kay got so lucky and found such
a man. He took Kay out for movies
and dinners and picnics on
weekends . it was like love in movies.
She was very shocked to learn that
they had dated for two years, the love
was so alive.
A week later, Isabelle decided to visit
Alfred but she wasnt allowed to get in the house. She got
very emotional
and begun weeping, lamenting about
how unfair love is, loving the people
who hate you, the people who came
to your life uninvited, placing your
heart in people who couldnt be trusted.
Alfred recalled what Kelvin had once
told him
“When your ex gets all emotional and
tells you how much you disappointed
her, its the morden way of seducing you, she is trying to
get you through
pity, she wants you to lift her, hug
her and apologise, promise to do
something about it and that will be
the end of you” he almost laughed
out loud when he remembered how his friend had
emphasised on that.
“Am sorry Isabelle but am on my way
out, I ll see you some other time. ”
said Alfred
Isabelle shamefully dragged herself
out of the house yard and left. Plan A had failed to work,
the fool was
smarter than she had thought.
“But plan B will work.

THE SMILE OF TERROR
.
Chapter 9
.
The town’s top 3 prominent
bachelors sat in the cool shade of the Butoya trees near
the river. It was
a very hot day and the world seemed
very busy. Two of the men were
drinking it down in gulps.
“Are things going well man? ” asked
Kelvin. Alfred had been unusually quete that
afternoon.
“Fridays are great man” said Alfred.
He had not touched the beer .
“Man you are troubled. What troubles
you” asked Frank. Picking a little stone and throwing it
in the river , he turned to his friends.
“I don’t know if things will ever be
the same again with Cathy. She came
to my house last week. We were
having a good time. Then Isabelle appeared from
nowhere.. ”
“Oh no, you hosted a third world war
in the 21 st centuary” interrupted
kelvin
“No there wasn’t any world war” said
Alfred cooly “You mean the ladies didn’t fight,
Isabelle? ” asked Frank, amazed
“Thats what ate me up. I thought
Isabelle would kill me and spit on me
and insult me but she did not. She
just sat there crying when I told her that I was in love with
Cathy. She left
very disappointed. I wish she had
atleast slapped me. Both ladies were
disappointed in me”
“Did you tell Cathy exactly what
happened? What led to your cheating”
“Hey man I wasnt cheating, I was
simply trapped” he defended himselsimply trapped” he
defended himself.
“I told her and she seemed to
understand but things between us
have been different. Sometimes she doesn’t pick my calls
or text me
back. I love her still”
“Stanley is a pig” lamented Jane
“Are you mad, you said he has been
a perfect gentleman from the
beginning” said Cathy Jane had invited her to her house
and it looked brighter than the last
time she had visited her. The walls
were covered in apple green wall
papers, the kitchen display was
cream white with the plates neatly packed inside
“Come to the bedroom” she led the
way
The bed was covered in coffee brown
sheets. She jumped on the bed
“This is so nice. I wonder how many men have enjoyed
the comfort of it”
said Cathy plainly.
“I wasn’t expecting that from you,
you are very unpredictable with
words. But I can make a list of the
guys if you need it” The two girls burst into laughter
“Stanely is a pig” said Jane “He
won’t sleep with me” she continued
Cathy laughed very hard, she thought
her lungs would burst
“What kind of stupidity is this, a man respects you so
much and here you
are whinning about it”
“Cathy you are still very young” she
said giving her that look that she
liked, making her feel intimidated.
“Haha you are very funny, there you go with the parent role
you always
try to assume on me”
“Cathy listen, if your man doesn’t
demand, it means he is getting it
somewhere, or he doesn’t find you
attractive” said Jane, falling back on the bed
“Well Jame none of your theories
have ever been found true , just say
you have problems with keeping
those legs closed”
The two girls fought with the pillows “We did this a lot
when we were
kids” said Jane falling back on the
bed. They both lay on the bed
watching the ceiling.
“You remember everything from our
childhood” said Cathy. They both got lost in their
thoughts.
Cathy could not believe that the man
whom she loved so much had
cheated on her
“Not really cheating” she corrected
herself. However Alfred had gone out of the way to prove
his honesty. He
had handed his phone to her for the
entire weekend so that she could
monitor his calls and even initiate
conversations with anyone if she
wanted. Therefore the trust had been restored
Days passed and turned into weeks.
Christmas passed and Alfred and
Cathy had a special celebration.
“I really love you Cathy” said Alfred
when he escorted her back home. Soon it was January
and Cathy went
to the University.
“Look after yourself Darling” were her
mother’s last words.
“Always remember that l love you
very much, I will miss you and I will wait for you. ” were
Alfred’s last
words
“I will miss you so much, please
come back to me as soon as
possible” were Jane’s words
Those three were her closest The bus started off around
10 pm. It
was raining heavily and she felt was raining heavily and
she felt very
alone. Away from the people she so
dearly loved.
Starting a journey with absolutely
new people. They had discussed it with Alfred. He was
going to wait for
her and he had asked her to take
care of her sweet self.
She dozed off and only woke up
when she reached Lusaka.
Delslake School of Nursing and Midwifery
It was a very clean university with
good tall buildings, painted pink
She went to her assigned hostel and
found her new room mate already in.
“Am Cathy” she introduced herself t “I am beginning my
first year”
“Wow, good to meet you Cathy, am
Kay”
The two girls got along pretty well.
They unpacked their clothes and
displayed the plates and other kitchen utensils.
Alfred had not stopped texting and
calling her, re-assuring her of his
love. Cathy together with other first
years spent the entire day doing the
registration. They were all very excited about it.
“Am totally exhausted” complained
Kay back at the room.
A week later Cathy’s mother was
standing in her living room, listening
to the best news ever. There was a report that Mrs
Stevenson who had
been missing for two days was found
floating in the river, caught among
the reeds. She looked away as they
warned that the picture which was
about to be showed was disturbing. However she
gathered the courage
and looked at the tv. Her body had
bulged and the eye sockets were
sunken. Her skin was white and she
looked nothing like looked nothing like her.
“I feel sorry for you Mrs Stevenson, but maybe you
deserved it” she
laughed. “You had really become a
pain in my life. Whoever did that did
a great job” she said but suddenly
tears begun to stream down her face.
She felt pity for the poor woman. Mrs Stevenson the wife
to Mr
Stevenson was Melody. The sister
inlaw to Cathy’s mother.
Yes Melody was dead. It pleased
Cathy’s mother and it also made her
sad. Their last meeting was bad. She sank in the sofa
watching the
cup of coffee in her hands. She didn’t
know what to feel.

“Oh Catherine, my favourite niece,
you have really grown. Come and greet me” said Melody
forcing a
smile
The following day , Melody left quet
early
“Aunty you just came yesterday, why
are you already leaving” complained Cathy
“She has a lot of things to do
sweety” answered her mother who
seemed happier that she was
leaving.
“I will come to see you again with something thrilling dear.
Always Visit https://www.classicpluz.com
Am sure
your mother has not told you a lot
about how she and your father were
in love” said Melody. “Does she tell
you about your childhood? ”
Cathy’s mother sent her a warning look
“Yes actually mum refuses to tell me
anything about her and dad, how they
met and got married”
“I dont like reminding Cathy about
her father” she said trying to control her temper.
“You and I will have a little talk one
day darling” said Melody ignoring
Cathy’s mom
She picked her bag and left. Cathy
wanted to escort her but her mom stopped her
“You dont seem to like her that much
mum, is she a bad woman ” asked
Cathy
“She is a beast my dear, pretending
to be all caring. She is trying to tear this family apart. She
never liked me
from the time I got married to your
father
Two weeks later, Alfred invited Cathy
to his house.
” Am so glad you came here, I thought you were going to
refuse.
You have to familiarise yourself with
this house, its yours too” said Alfred.
He led her to the sitting room and
offered her some juice drink.
They updated each other about every single detail. The
spark and the
magnet between them was becoming
stronger
“Am feeling sleepy will you escort
me to bed? ” he whispered in her
ear. Cathy giggled
“That tickles” she said. “You should
never bring your mouth close to my
ear again”
He leaned towards her and
whispered in her ear”is that so? ” she chuckled and
pushed him lightly
“Believe me am very harmless. Am
like a dog without teeth. ”
He pulled her up and lifted her to the
bedroom
“You are the most beautiful woman I ve ever seen”
His hands were already flooding her
trembling body.
“You dont need to be so tense baby,
just relax. You told me that you did
this before” he said He bent and kissed her , like a
starved lion on an impala. His hands
searching her body. Before she knew
it, she had done it. She didn’t know
how to feel, but she would not let
him know that she was worried ” you were great baby. I
love you
even more now” he assured her.
The last time she did that was with
George, the handsome guy who had
turned out to be a dog.
“It’s almost getting late, I have to go home” she said
quietly.
He escorted her to the mini market
just nearby and booked a taxi for her.
She was in the taxi trying to bring
herself back to reality and let herself
feel her innerself. She wasnt as excited as she had
fantasied.
“Am I disappointed or what? ” she
asked herself , looking through the
window, the small buildings of the
town racing backwards
“I love you babe”. Alfred had sent her a text
She reached home and her mother
was not around. She knocked off at
8. P. M that week.
She went to her room and sat on the
bed starring at the pillow ” Cathy why did you do that,
didn’t
we agree that you won’t do that
again till you got married? ” she said
to the pillow. She grabbed it and hit
it hard against the wall.
“You are a fool, a very big fool. Fool” she shouted as she
continued hitting
it.
The following day Jane went to visit
her.
“You ve totally abandoned me Cathy,
I think am jealous. Alfred has taken all your attention.”
“Silly, you are working, you are busy”
“Hmm being a secretary for a female,
you can’t do anything to seduce her”
They both laughed out hard.
“How are things for you two? ” asked Jane. Cathy looked
away and said” I
want to dump him”
“Are you mad? Or maybe joking
right? ”
“Am serious Jame, I want to dump
him” she said firmly and Jane could see the serious look
on her friend
“But why? ”
“We did it yesterday, we slept
together”
she said looking away
“And so? Wait was he bad? He wasn’t better than George
was he? ”
“You know you are very stupid Jame,
I wonder what your employer saw in
you”
Jane giggled
“You know that you can’t keep breaking up with people
becau”You know that you can’t keep breaking up with
people because you
slept with them. Why then didn’t you
tell him that you didn’t want? He is a
gentle man, he wouldn’t have forced
you? ”
“I know he wouldn’t have. But I lost control of my body
when he started
touching me. I just couldn’t stop him.
The attraction was deep” explained
Cathy.
Her friend gave her a sly smile
“You are in love with him Cathy, don’t blow it away. Just
make sure you
make it very clear to him that you
don’t want that again. ”
She felt lit up. She switched on her
phone that she had switched off in
the taxi the previous day immediately after receiving
Alfred’s text.
It was flooded with messages and
who calls all from Alfred. Immediately
he called and she told him that it
was a battery problewas a battery problem
“I was really worried baby” he told her.
In the evening he brought her a latest
brand new phone.
“We should never have a
communication breakdown because
of a battery again. ” She couldn’t believe it. She was so
happy, she jumped in excitement and
hugged him. Suddenly she was filled
with so much sadness.
“You look unhappy baby, don’t you
like it? ” he inquired “Ofcousre I do” she answered “but
am afraid I can’t accept it” she said
sorrowfully
“Why baby? ” he asked more
sorrowfully
“Because I won’t be able to sleep with you again. It was
great but I
want to wait till I get married”. She
said looking down.
He held up her chin and told her not
to worry
” I love you very much baby and I want you to know that
nomatter what,
I will never leave you. Its not just
about us sleeping together its about
us loving each other. I will respect
whatever you tell me. As long as I
see a smile on your face” Those were the sweetest words
she
had ever heard.
“Now keep the phone, no more
communication break down” he
kissed her on the forehead.
And she knew he was the one. The following week she
went to his
house again at his request. They sat
in the living room chatting. Talking
about everything. When Cathy was
about to leave, there was a knock at
the door. “I ll get that” said Alfred.
He opened it and to his dismay it
was Isabelle
“What are you doing here” he
whispered
“Honey what do you mean? ” asked Isabelle, a bit
confused
“My parents are here” he hissed
“Really? ” said Cathy behind him.

THE SMILE OF TERROR
.
Chapter 7
.
The following day was no ordinary
day. Alfred and Cathy spent the entire day exchanging
texts. Life was so
perfect.
Since the death of her father when
she was very little, she had a void
inside her. Her mother was very
loving and doing all she could to compensate for the loss
of her father
but the vacuum inside her remained
unfilled.
From the fading memories of him,
she remembered that he was the
sweetest person in the world. He played with her, he
taught her
how to draw, he told her so many
stories of little girls and monsters.
It seemed Alfred was the missing
part. He had somehow erased every
pain in her and filled the void. They arranged to meet in
the evening
again.
“I’ve won scholarship to go and do
nursing and later do midwifery at
Delslake school of midwifery in
Lusaka. Isn’t it great? ” said Cathy “Wow when is that and
when did you
receive the letter? ” asked the Alfred
who didn’t know whether to be happy
or not.
Separating from the love of his life
would be very painful. “I received two months ago. We are
opening in January towards the end”
“And you never told me? ” he asked
squeezing her hand a bit tighter
“Because you weren’t my boyfriend
then and I saw no need” she defended herself
“So we have like only a month to
ourselves. We will utilise it” he said
absent mindeabsent mindedly
Alfred was an accountant and had
hoped that he would influence the woman he was going to
marry into
venturing in business.
He loved business so much. He had
a few small businesses running
succesfully around town and outside.
But Cathy had already got that sponsorship and he would
let her go
for it. It’s not like he could stop her
even if he wanted.
Back home Cathy’s mother receivBack home Cathy’s
mother received
an unexpected visitor. They had just
finished having their drinks when she brought a subject
that brought
tension.
“When do you think you are going to
tell her the truth? ” said the visitor
“Tell who the truth? ” asked Cathy’s
mother. She had prayed against a day like
that. She was the only one who knew
her secret and she was like a thorn
in the flesh. She was a cancer in the
bone.
The last time they had a conversation, it had ended very
bitterly, they had exchanged very foul
and strong words. Cathy’s mother
had hoped that she would never meet
her again in life.
“Melody did you come all the way from your husband’s
house to ask
me that foolish questime that foolish question? ”
Cathy’s mother was breathing heavily
now and she could feel the
temperature of her blood go up.
“You relax” said Melody , ” I didn’t come to your home to
pick a fight.
But you see I think Catherine
deserves to… ”
“So that what huh, so that what? ”
she shouted. She lost control and
she felt it. She couldnt keep her voice down.
“Cathy could walk in just now, and be
surprised to find her cool mother
boiling” said Melody calmly. She
seemed to be enjoying each moment
of it. “There is no secret in this world, in
one way or the other, she is going to
find out. Imagine the shame if she
finds out on her own”. She
whispered
” she won’t find out if you keep your tongue inside your
mouth”she
hissed. “And if you dare tell her
anything, I will rip you apart, open
your skull and feed your rotten brain
to vultures.”
Melody looked her in the eye. She had changed, she no
longer looked
cool and reserved as everyone had
known her to be. For the first time
she seemed capable of killing
” you are a fool” said Melody, her
temper rising. “Thats my brother. You did that to my
brother. You are a
witch” she said sobbing.
“Dont Judge me Melody” said Cathy’s
mum. “Don’t. You dont know what
was happening in this house. I loved
him. I loved my husband very much” “You loved him huh,
then why did
you do that to him, how could you do
that to the father of your daughter, my
brother loved you, you were his
angel, he was a good man. But see
how you repaid him” she broke into tears
“Dont judge me Melody”
The two women sat there , Melody
sobbing silently and Cathy’s mother
engrossed in her own thoughts.
She remembered how she met her late husband. He was
the most
popular guy on campus and every
girl’s talk. His ability to play
basketball was a bonus to his looks.
Trying to look him in the eyes was as
hopeless as looking at the sun. Cathy’s mom crushed on
him the first
day she saw him in the basketball
jersey with a band round his head.
She had only heard rumours about
him and she saw for herself that day,
that the guy was really fine. She knew he could never be
hers, so
she convinced herself that she didn’t
like him because he was proud and a
womaniser, so she avoided any
contact with him and stayed away, as
far from him as possible. However the first time he spoke
to
her, he proved her wrong, he was
very humble and very polite.
He didn’t try to flirt with her. And her
feelings for him became stronger,
she could almost not cage them. But she swore that she
would never
let it be known to him that she loved
him so much. He probably had a
girlfriend , she had convinced herself.
She remembered how she sincerely
prayed to God to let him have strong feelings for her and
love her.
After few interactions, he proposed to
her. She couldn’t believe it.
They were so happy together even
unto marriage. They had their first
born daughter. She brought more happiness and love to
the family
“We shall call her Catherine, after
your grandmother’s name right
honey? I know she’s gone but she
still dwells in your heart. When our
Cathy grows up I want you to look at her and remember
your grandma. ”
he had told her
He wanted only one child so that he
could shower her with all the love in
him. But the devil had finally visited
them and brought calamity unto their home.
Melody had gone back to the days of
primary school. Coming from a poor
family, the pupils often ridiculed
them.
Her elder brother had protected her from the bullies and
risked being on
expulsion twice in attempt to protect
her.
When their parents died, he became
her father. He had worked so hard to
make life easier for her and live like normal people
“You will always be my number one
woman in my life Melody. I will
always be there for you even when
you get married. ” he had told her
And he was no more, to see how good her life had turned
out to be, all
because of the woman who was
seated just across the room.
“You two are so lost in your
thoughts. You didn’t even hear me
enter” said Cathy to the two women who had sat so
silently.

Chapter 6
.
“It’s your birthday tomorrow girl,what
are your plans?” Asked Jane when she went to see Cathy
“Huh I don’t know, Alfred hasn’t
called from that day” she said
“You lie,that’s not possible. The guy
is dead in love with you”
“He hasn’t called” she said sadly Jane called Alfred, the
phone went
unanswered. She called him again
“Jane I’m sorry but I can’t talk now, I
ll call you later” and he cut the line
“Let’s just be patient and wait to hear
what he has to say” said Jane “I don’t want him anymore.
I don’t
want to see him again. There is no
excuse for what he has done. He
couldn’t even spare a minute to ask if
I had recovered” she lamented
At the other side of town, Alfred was having a heated
discussion with his
two friends Frank and Kelvin
“Man your story is funny” said Frank.
“I think I’m quite behind” complained
Kelvin.
” You know I was away from town thats why I couldn’t
come to see you
as soon as you wanted.”
“Yes man I know, you mentioned that
” said Alfred
The three bachelors had decided to
go to Safaris lodge in Senanga. Senanga is among those
towns that
testify of the Lord’s supernatural
design. The upper land is a town
with a scattered forest. On the lower
land is the river,flowing through the
trees and across is an island where the fishermen have
settled.
It is a beautiful site, in the morning
the river sparkles from the reflection
of the sun and in the evening it
grows calmer and darker.
The men had decided to go to Safaris lodge, but decided
to go down the
river under the mango trees just at
the river banks.
“You know Cathy” Alfred started
,putting down the bottle of Heinkein.
Kelvin nodded . “The girl whom you have stupidly and
madly fallen in love with, the ‘decent
girl in town’ ” he said
“Yes she is also madly in love with
me now” said Alfred sadly
“Man is that true?” said Kelvin hitting his friend’s shoulder.
“That’s good news, you should be
smiling, why the long face”
“Fool,its because he is now dating
Isabelle” shouted Frank.
“So?” Said Kelvin in I dont care tone “Two days after
Isabelle accepted my
proposal, even Cathy fell in love with
me I don’t know what to do. The
truth is that I have come to love
Isabelle as much as I love Cathy. I
don’t want to cheat but I want both of them”
“Man you proposed two women at
the same time ? And now you want
both of them but you don’t want to
cheat?” Said Kelvin. He laughed so
hard that tears almost came out “Kelvin now is not the
time”said
Frank angrily. “What we want now is
a solution”
The men drunk until they got drunk.
The following day as usual, Cathy’s
mother gave her a present early in the morning.
“Happy birthday sweetheart” she
kissed her on the forehead.
Inside were some diamond bangles
and a gold hair ribbon and a nice
pink dress “She surely knows how much am in
love with pink dresses” she said
trying it on. It suited her perfectly.
In the evening, she received a text
from Alfred asking her to meet him
outside her house. She jumped in excitement and started
preparing
herself. She tied her wig neatly and
added some powder and lip gloss.
However something came to mind, he
had abandoned her for five days why
would she so happily go to meet him. She decided not to
go but on second
thought she thought she would go
and listen to his explanation.
“Alfred what are you doing here”?
said a very familiar voice.
He turned and couldn’t believe his eyes
” Isabelle what are you doing here ”
he asked his heart thumping.
He tried to hide his nervousness but
it proved too difficult.
“I came to see a friend but she isn’t around” she said
giving him a hug.
“What’s that you are carrying? Will
you walk me to the bus stop” she
asked, her hand around his shoulder
‘Woman remove your hand from my
shoulder,’ he groaned in the heart “I… I came to… It’s the
birthday for
my friend’s girlfriend but he is not in
town, he asked me to give her a
present on his behalf. Am sorry babe
I can’t escort you” he said beginning
to sweat “Oh so can I wait with you here until
she comes?”
“Oh no! I mean its not necessary, its
late baby, I ll see you tomorrow . l
love you” he said.
She looked at him suspiciously and gave him a light kiss
on the lips. She
left him standing there frozen prayinleft him standing
there frozen praying
that Cathy had not come out of the
house
“Cathy you should have told me that
you would fall for me, see my life now. I thought you
would never be
mine. ” he said
“What was that you said? ”
He turned and there was Cathy,
looking more stunning. Her inviting
eyes glittering . “Oh my I didn’t know I was thinking
aloud. You look so great Cathy”
They went to sit on a log under the
tree away from the road.
Oh my she was so much in love with
him, sitting next to him was all she wanted.
He gave an explanation why he
hadn’t contacted her for sometime
but she didnt care. She wasn’t
listening.
All that matered was that she was seated right next to
him.
“I can’t believe you are finally mine”
he said sighing.
“I didn’t accept your proposal” she
chuckled
“Alright let’s make this official” He went on one knee and
said
“Catherine will you be my girlfriend”
“Yes, yes I will” she said excitedly
He stood and hugged her. He moved
very close to her and she thought
she would die. Every nerve inside her seemed very alert.
He planted a soft
kiss on her lips.
And there they stood enjoying the
magical moment.
That was falling in love.
The electricity between them was so strong that they felt
like opposite
poles of a magnet put in the
magnetic field.
He escorted her back home and gave
her , the gift. He kissed her before
they bade goodnight. Cathy went inside joyfully. She was
in a deep fantasy and couldn’t see
anything around her.

THE SMILE OF TERROR
.
Chapter 5
.
Cathy stood looking at him.She gave
him a cup of tea and sat next to him His palms were
sweating. What had
made this woman wake up in the
middle of the night? He loved her so
much but why would she try to do
such a thing? What if she told him to
follow her to the bedroom. He didn’t want things to move
so fast. She
seemed to be a decent girl,why
would she be in such a hurry. How
loose.
“I hate loose girls” he thouhgt.How
was he going to turn down her request to go to bed with
her? .
She sat there smiling charmingly,still
with the cup stretched out to him.
“Why aren’t you sleeping? It’s
midnight” he said plainly
“Well look at the wall,its already morning. Are you always
such a
sleepy head.?” she teased
Oh goodness,he thought as he
looked at the wall clock. It was
already 6 o’clock. It felt as though he
had slept for only a few minutes. He felt a sharp pain in
the neck as he
attempted to look for his shoes
down.
“I must’ve slept on one side” he
mumbled touching his neck.
“How stupid” he thought.”so embarassing ,how could I
think that
she came to ask me for sex,am I
mad. How could I even think she is
loose? How shameful,its this stupid
mind of mine. She doesn’t even like
me.” He got he cup of tea and sipped a
few times
“We better be going”
They reached the police station early
enough and found only the officer in
charge. “That man was sentenced to life
imprisonment. He had committed two
rape cases. When they caught him,he
pretended to be mad so he was
instead detained at a mental
institution. He escaped weeks later. They couldn’t find
him. The next time
they heard about him was after he
murdered his wife after having a
heated argumheated argument.
They caught him and he pretended to
be mad again. However at the mental hospitbe mad again.
However at the mental hospital,they
ran tests and observed him and he
was found to be very normal.
He was sent to jail but he managed
to escape three days ago.
He had been on the run since then” explained the officer
in charge.
After giving all the information they
had,Alfred and Cathy walked back
home.
“Thanks very much Alfred,i can’t
imagine what could have happened to me if you didn’t
come to my
rescue” she said holding back tears
“You can’t cry from here Cathy,there
are too many people around. They
will think am dumping you” he said
and they both laughed. She took multiple glances at him
and
she could see that he was really
handsome.
She discovered a lot of new things
about him. Despite looking short,he
was actually taller than her. His big intimidating eyes
proved to
be irresistible.
Everytime he looked at her, she felt
like she was being scanned.
She could feel his eyes piercing
through her from every direction. She fell in love with his
habit of licking
the corner of his lower lip after
speaking .
“He is so handsome” she thought
They reached Cathy’s house and he
removed the cloth she had used to cover her face. Her
cheeks were
more swollen than the previous night
Alfred rubbed the cream he had
bought in a pharmaceutical on their
way from the police station on her
face. Her skin was so delicate and
spotless. How could an adult
manage to keep the skin so soft.
After that he picked the broom and
started sweeping
“Oh no Alfred you can’t do that. I will sweep” pleaded
Cathy but he ignored
her.
“I live by myself Cathy, I do the
chores all by myself, all you need to
do is rest” he said after sweeping.
“How old are you? ” asked Cathy. He laughed and he said
27
“Why are you asking” he inquired
“Nothing” she said avoiding eye
contact “was just asking”
“I know you are 20” he said proudly.
“I know more about you than you think I do”
She just smiled not knowing how to
respond. She was so much in love
that she feared that he might see it.
He said his goodbye and she stood
to give him a hug. They remained locked in each other’s
arms for some
minutes. It was magical.
“You took me to mum’s bedroom
yesterday” she whispered in his ear.
“I did?” He laughed
He told her to call him if she needed anything and
assured her of his call.
And he left.
He switched his phone on and there
were 14 missed calls and 8
messages. He knew he was in
trouble. He dialed a number and said
“Please come to my house as soon
as possible” and he hung up
Cathy went to her bedroom and
stared in the ceiling,hugging the
pillow tightly. She saw herself walking hand pillow tightly.
She saw herself walking hand in
hand with Alfred at the river. Then
they got married and grew old
together. They were so happy. They
had three kids. She saw herself die
with him and they resurrected together and went to
heaven and they
were best of friends.
Minutes later there was a knock at
the door.
“Oh yeah,you came back” she said
running to the door with the widest smile ever which
however faded upon
seeing who it was
“Jame” she said looking
disappointed “come in”
“Disappointed? were you expecting
someone? and what time did Alfred go yesternight? ” and
there was the
smile on Cathy’s face
“Oh my God Cathy,have you finally
fallen in love with him? does he
know? Look at your smile miss”
exclaimed Jane “He didn’t go home,he slept here”
she said calmly
“Oh no Cathy don’t tell me you
did,,,,,”
“Shut up” she interrupted her friend.”
We didn’t do what you are thinking” She told him
everything and how he
lifted her to her mother’s
bedroom,how he swept the house.
“He is romantic and handsome” she
told Jane
She spent the rest of the day very close to her phone,she
didn’t want to
miss Alfred’s call.
It was evening and there was still no
call. She became very anxious. Why
wasn’t he calling to check on her.
It was night and she kept tossing from side to
side,searching for sleep.
She only managed to fall asleep at
03 a.m
The following day she busied herself
with cleaning the house and later
read a novel but she couldn’t concentrate.
Alfred had still not called. She
wanted to call him but she turned
down the thought.
” He is the one who should call. He
promised,is this how he is.Has he known that I have fallen
for him and
he now wants to punish me?”
She abstained from eating that day
and went to bed early but she
couldn’t fall asleep.
Four days had passed but there was still no call and Jane
was too busy
with work,she hadn’t come to visit
her.
Her mother came back and found her
without a mark of harassment. she
decided to keep it from her. .

Chapter 5
.
Cathy stood looking at him.She gave
him a cup of tea and sat next to him His palms were
sweating. What had
made this woman wake up in the
middle of the night? He loved her so
much but why would she try to do
such a thing? What if she told him to
follow her to the bedroom. He didn’t want things to move
so fast. She
seemed to be a decent girl,why
would she be in such a hurry. How
loose.
“I hate loose girls” he thouhgt.How
was he going to turn down her request to go to bed with
her? .
She sat there smiling charmingly,still
with the cup stretched out to him.
“Why aren’t you sleeping? It’s
midnight” he said plainly
“Well look at the wall,its already morning. Are you always
such a
sleepy head.?” she teased
Oh goodness,he thought as he
looked at the wall clock. It was
already 6 o’clock. It felt as though he
had slept for only a few minutes. He felt a sharp pain in
the neck as he
attempted to look for his shoes
down.
“I must’ve slept on one side” he
mumbled touching his neck.
“How stupid” he thought.”so embarassing ,how could I
think that
she came to ask me for sex,am I
mad. How could I even think she is
loose? How shameful,its this stupid
mind of mine. She doesn’t even like
me.” He got he cup of tea and sipped a
few times
“We better be going”
They reached the police station early
enough and found only the officer in
charge. “That man was sentenced to life
imprisonment. He had committed two
rape cases. When they caught him,he
pretended to be mad so he was
instead detained at a mental
institution. He escaped weeks later. They couldn’t find
him. The next time
they heard about him was after he
murdered his wife after having a
heated argumheated argument.
They caught him and he pretended to
be mad again. However at the mental hospitbe mad again.
However at the mental hospital,they
ran tests and observed him and he
was found to be very normal.
He was sent to jail but he managed
to escape three days ago.
He had been on the run since then” explained the officer
in charge.
After giving all the information they
had,Alfred and Cathy walked back
home.
“Thanx very much Alfred,i can’t
imagine what could have happened to me if you didn’t
come to my
rescue” she said holding back tears

THE SMILE OF TERROR
.
Chapter 4
.
“I will require all of you to come with
us at the police station for a statement” said one of the
police
officers
“Uhmm Ben can’t we just give it
here” said Alfred his arms still
wrapping Cathy where they had sat
“We don’t want to attract people’s attention and we don’t
want this to
go public for her reputation” he
added.
Always Visit https://www.classicpluz.com for all your stories

They agreed that the police officers
would go with the man while the rest
went back home. They took Cathy home. Cathy’s mother
who was a
nurse had gone for a one week
workshop in another town. And being
the only child, she was alone, home.
Jane warmed some water for her
bathe and went home. Cathy had stopped her from
preparing food
because she wasn’t hungry.
Minutes later Alfred stood to leave
too.
“I’m going but if you need anything
just call me” he told her, stretching her hand and kissing
it.
“No you can’t go” she said bluntly
“you both can’t leave me alone here.
I’m terrified, please don’t go” she
pleaded.
He stood for a moment, forcing his mind to think fast.
How would he
manage to control himself if he
agreed to spend a night with the
woman whom he was so much in
love with. What if he misbehaved and
did something stupid? , he would push her away and
remain with no
chance to be with her at all. But what
if it was an opportunity? ”
He turned to look at her and said”
I’m sorry Catherine but I have to go,
there is something I must go to work on” he said hoping
desperately that
his judgement was right.
He opened the door and left. His
mother had taught him that the best
thing to do when tempted is to run
away, that way you can’t do what you would regret later.
“Its the right thing” he kept telling
himself hoping to convince himself
Minutes later there was a knock at
the door.
Cathy jumped from the sofa, deciding whether to move to
the door or to
hide in her bedroom.
“Who is there” she asked from a
distance
“Alfred. Its me Alfred” he answered.
Cathy was sure her heart laughed out loud while her lips
simply smiled.
She opened the door half way and
there was Alfred .
“Did you forget anything? ” she asked
“No I will be with you until you sleep.
that was one heck of a horrible evening. ” he said waiting
anxiously
to be ushered in.
“So what are your hobbies” asked
Alfred trying to break the silence that
was becoming awkward after sitting
in the sofa. They talked about everything, the
weather, politics, education and their
thrilling childhood experiencesthrilling childhood
experiences. It so
happened that they were both
foolhardy but stubborn children.
Eventually Cathy fell asleep and he carried her to the
bedroom. Her
house was a two bedroomed but it
was very much up to standard. It had
everything inside that a house
basically needs.
He put her on the bed and started watching her. She
looked so pretty
even in her sleep. Her big eye lids,
an extended forehead, pointed nose
and wet lips , opposite of his which
were usually dry, overlooking the
swollen face. He ran his hand through her hair and
kissed her on the cheek. He wanted
to move his lips on to her mouth but
the inner voice loudly told him to
stop and he stopped.
He went back to the living room and fell in a sofa.
Minutes later, there was a tap on his
shoulder
“Mum? Is that you? ” he asked as he
stirred in his sleep.
“Wake up” she smiled. He struggled to open his eyes and
when he finally did he almost died of
shock.
It wasn’t his mother but Cathy. He
quickly sat up.
“Cathy you are supposed to be sleeping what are yu doing
here in
the middle of the night? ”

Chapter 3
.
The man moved closer to Cathy and
said”you look hot” Cathy could feel the blood in her
veins become hot, how disrespectful
of him to say such a stupid thing,
was he drunk
“Well Alfred am not interested in your
lines. You and Jane planned this I know but guess what,
my answer is
still no. And just a bonus, I ve
already been deflowered, so you can
get lost” she said rudely turning to
leave.
It had become very dark and the sky had no light to offer.
It was quete, the
only noise was coming from the
norctunal birds that were singing out
of tune.
Just as she was leaving he grabbed
her hand And pulled her closer to him.
“So Alfred is the boy who has been
running after you. I love girls who
have already been deflowered” he
said hoarsely
It was at this moment that she paid a closer look at the
man, straining her
eyes to see his face, she discovered
that he wasnt Alfred. Alfred never
wore vests without putting anythiwore vests without
putting anything
on top. This man had a stench that
was hard to describe. His body smelt sweat and partly
rotten.
Catherine felt a chill run down her
spine. She stood petrified. She could
not believe it.
“Let go of me” she said brutally
struggling to free herself but the man tightened the grip on
her arm. He
locked her other arm as much. He
swayed his waist towards her and
moved very close until there wasnt
any space in between them.
He pressed his body against her and she could feel the
stiffness of his
being. She was now breathing
heavily. Her effort to free herself had
proved to be in vain. He had wrapped
her in his arms very tightly.
She knew that shouting would not help at all. And no word
could come
out of her mouth as her throught was
now blocked by a lump of anger and
only tears streamed down. She said
a thousand prayers in a flash.
The man was now running his rough hands all over her
body.
“God save me from this demon ” she
prayed silently
She gathered her strength, raised her
knee and kicked him in the groin. He
immediately let go of her and he staggered backwards,
wincing in
pain.
She stood there startled, her legs
betraying her by refusing to move.
She decided to just drag them along
and as soon as she started running, she ran as fast as her
legs and as soon as she started running, she ran as fast
as her legs could
carry her.
But when a dark veil falls upon you
even the oxygen that should save
your life can take it.
It wasnt long before she found herself down. The man had
caught
up with her.
“You bitch! ” he roared as he slapped
her across the face. Suddenly the
sky was filled with stars so close
that she could touch them. She tried to get up and she
received another
one, harder than the first. The stars
continued dancing around her. She
winced in pain as she rolled to face
downwards.
“You will give it to me baby” he said trying to make her
face up.
‘Come take my umbrella oh little
Cinderella’ Jane’s phone was ringing.
“Any chances of me seeing Catherine
before the day ends? ” it was Alfred.
“But I left you with her at the river , what are you saying”
she asked in a
shaky voice.
“I haven’t seen her today. I know I
was supposed to meet you girls at
the river but you saw how it rained
heavily so I couldn’t move . I ve just dropped from a bus
from home,
hoping to see her ” he said on the
other end of the line.
“Oh no! Oh my goodness, Alfred
Cathy is in grave danger” she
answered her voice now shaking uncontrollably
“What do you mean, did anything
happen to her? ”
Five minutes later, Alfred was at the
river,she went straight at the scene
according to the description that Jane had given him.
The man was struggling to open
Cathy’s legs that she had locked with
her might. He was on top and she
was below
Alfred pulled him and hit him on the mouth. He gave him
another on the
face and he beat him until he was
too weak to stand.
“Are you okey, did he do anything to
you.? ” he asked her, helping her sit
up. Minutes later Jane arrived and she started crying.
“Oh Cathy please forgive me. I had
made an arrangement with Alfred to
come here so that you two could talk
and so when I saw that man coming I
thought it was Alfred Thats why….. ” “Stop it Jane”
interrupted Alfred “you
will explain later. She can’t hear you
now, she is still in shock. ”
He dialed a number and a few
minutes later, two cops arrived at the
scene ……

THE SMILE OF TERROR
.
Chapter 2
.

“Nothing” Cathy answered “I just
came to think about my father” “And your ex” added Jane
“Get out of here” she said hitting her
friend on the shoulder lightly “you
can never hold a conversation
without mentioning boys”
“Ouch that hurt girl” said Jane. “Go join karate if you are
that strong”
Cathy bent down and dug the wet
sand with her hands, moulded it into
a ball and threw it at her friend.
” Goodness Catherine, are you mad?
my hair is…. ” but more sand found its way on her clothes.
She filled her
hands with sand too and threw it
back. They started chasing each
other, their voices echoing against
the river bank. It was almost dark
and the place was deserted. It had rained heavily earlier
and people had
decided to stay indoors.
When they were tired enough , they
lay down facing the heaven.
“We did this a lot when we were
kids” said Jane “Yes and mum always whipped me
while yours never even muttered a
thing to you, yet you are the one who
liked initiating the game” complained
Cathy
“I ve always been smart” she said with a grin
“Cathy Alfred” Jane blurted out.
“No no, don’t go there, are you mad”
answered Cathy
“Well you need to give him a chance”
pleaded Jane Cathy turned to face her friend and
said” hell no, he is short but
handsome I know. But he is
flirtatious and has a million female
friends. The last time I dated a
handsome guy, he turned out to be a dog. ”
“Don’t compare George to Alfred.
George was a dog from the
beginning” insisted Jane
“Oh please Jame, forget it” she said
standing up and brushing the sand off her wet dress but it
was in vain
because the sand was stuck to the
dress as if magnetised. It looked like
diamonds. She loved her dress. Pink
and flaired and always made her look
and feel younger and she loved that. Some foot steps
were approaching
and she couldn’t make out who it
was because it was dusk. As it came
closer she whispered to Jane
“Some one is coming, any idea who it
could be? ” Jane turned to see a figure
approaching directly where they were
and she said
“Its some one you know. I go now”
she stood up to leave.
“No you did not set me up Jame” cathy said in a whisper
gritting her
teeth.
“Yes I did love” she answered and
disappeared in the dark
“Stupid girl” Cathy muttered under
her breath. But it turned out to be a dreadful nightmare

.
Story By: Mbulu Mundia
.
Chapter 1
. On a friday afternoon, she went down
the river to watch the sun set. It was
amazing to watch it go beyond the
horizon. It relaxed her mind though it
brought bad memories.
So many years ago, she used to come and watch it
disappear with her
father. He would carry her on the
shoulders and take her there.
“We wish you a merry chrismosh and
a wappy new year” she had sung
enjoying the ride on his shoulders. “You got the words
wrong again
Cathy and its not yet christmas” he
corrected her.
“I know the words dad, it’s just that I
don’t have my front teef” she
defended herself She was six at the time and life was
perfect.
Now that was a good memory which
however broke her heart. That wasnt
the only memory though.
Few years ago she had walked on that river bank with a
man whom she
loved so much, or should I say with
a man whom she believed she loved
so much. But love had played a trick
on her and she would never forgive it
for being so cruel. She sat down the tree trunk that had
lied there for years. She had sat on it
with her father and she had sat on it
with the man she was in love with ,
who was she going to wit with now.
It was early December and the sandy bank was very wet,
she had her
slippers in her hands , her legs were
digging in the sand unknowingly.
“Life is a gamble. Nothing changes
except people and times and
seasons” she said to herself. “What did you say” a shrilled
voice
came from behind.
She screamed and turned
“Oh Jame, you scared me” she said
giving a sigh of relief and coming
back to reality. “I’m not Jame am Jane” she gigled
“Well your boyfriend is James so am
just doing you justice” said Cathy
“Point of correction he was my ex, no
he was my childhood former crush
not boyfriend” The two girls burst into laughter.
“I heard you say something about
life” said Jane
“Nope, you heard wrong. All I said is
that I enjoy watching the sun set”
she answered. “You will always be a liar Cathy, and
why are you here? ”

Well, the reason for the delayment(error) of this update was because death struck in my family again. He took away a precious Jewel from us. A vibrant young man who had laboured all his life to achieve his dreams, but unfortunately, just 3weeks remaining for him to get his Call-to-bar summon, death took him away. He was a former president of Ifelaw @IFE University.

He's suppose to clock 30 on the 19th of this month and to get his Call-to-bar on the 21st of this month also when he would be finally be able to wear the wig and gown he'd laboured so hard for but all death could do was to snatch him from us at such a prime time. 8 good years of studying Law just vanished into thin air. Tears*.


He left behind, A father and two Mothers and we his siblings.

Well, R.I.P my brother, Quadri Oladimeji Olaniran. Darous will forever miss you.

And to you death, well continue o...be killing good people and be avoiding the bad ones, maybe you are scared of them ni o, ah no know...anyway don't worry, I promise you one day, nemesis will catch up with you. And Karma,(a b!tch) like you will join him in rendering you powerless. St*pid fool!


Below is a picture of him.

THE MISSING PERIOD BY CYBERPRINCE

Important Notice : This Story Is Written By Classicpluz.com Ceo And Must Not Be Republished In Any Form Without Informing The Author


Enjoy !!!!






The last thing any young guy would want to hear from his girlfriend is that she has somehow missed her monthly period.
Chidinma called me very early in the morning to tell me that she still couldn’t find her monthly period. At first I thought she was joking, but before I could say anything, she started crying in panic. It’s been three days now and it’s becoming long overdue.
“what do you mean you still can’t find your period “
I asked her, before she dropped the call to continue crying.
We’ve dated each other for six months now and we have been very careful whenever we felt the urge for sex. There’s no way I could forget using condoms, they always have a very special place in my heart and my wallet.
I couldn’t totally fathom what was going on. I called her number again and she didn’t pick up. My mind literally flew out my body. I lost my mind! Totally.
I tried recounting all that happened the last time we both had sex. On that valentine’s day, I took her out to dinner and then we lodged at a hotel. I remember pulling out my condom, I remember. So how can she say she’s looking for her period? Or did the condom break?
“it’s barely ten days and she’s pregnant”?
I thought.
I couldn’t wrap my head round the fact that Chidinma could be pregnant with my baby. I loved her but not this way! What will my parents say? That I went to school and decided to impregnate an innocent girl. I would be dead before the last words could come out of my mouth.
I was confused. I never fully understood the “politics of menstrual cycle”.I considered menstruation a political tool, used by girls who wanted to frustrate their boyfriends.
Is Chidinma playing a game with me?
I thought every girl should see their periods by the last day of the month? I thought it comes to them like monthly salary alerts?
I was swimming in the ocean of thoughts.
I brought out my phone and opened goggle. I browsed,
“how to find a missing period”
It opened and I began to read tons and tons of articles on what might cause a girl to miss her period. I did not like reading generally, I don’t even read sign posts on the road side. But in my desperation, I read some articles that even some medical doctors knew nothing about.
Chidinma called again, she was crying bitterly.
” baby please come over to my place”
She said and she dropped the call again. At this point, I felt like running away from this world. I didn’t even mind meeting the devil and running hell with him. I was gripped with terror, with fear. For the first time in a long time I was really scared.
I called Chioma. She’s Chidinma’s best friend. I did not know what exactly to say to her.
“hello honey, please I’m in class I’ll call you as soon as I’m out” she said.
She calls me honey because she says I’m the sweetest thing that ever happened to her besti Chidinma.
“Chioma please wait. I just want to ask you a little question” I said.
“go ahead honey, be fast “
” Chioma please have you seen your period this month “?
I asked her. It was a very stupid question apparently but I didn’t mind. I wanted to know if the missing period was a national issue and no girl could find hers.
” my period? “
she replied, in utter disbelief before the phone dropped. She latter said her phone was sized by the lecturer who was in her class when I called.
My temperature began to rise, I was falling seriously ill. Chidinma’s lost period was all I could think of. I’m going to be a father out of wedlock. I wanted to tell it to Emeka. He’s a very good friend of mine but I knew he would suggest abortion if she was truly pregnant.
Emeka had varieties of abortion pills she administered to girls he “mistakenly” had sex with without condom. I saw abortion as deliberate killing. I couldn’t kill anyone so it was far from my options.
I continued browsing until I slept on my phone. By this time, I’ve read menstrual articles equivalent to the volume of the English dictionary’s 9th edition.
The dreams I had were terrible and they didn’t help matters too. I saw myself buying diapers at Unizik junction in awka and Chidinma clinging baby Junior at her back waiting for me.
I jumped up. It was a bad dream, I wasn’t even inside a car. I thought. How terrible! The witches in my village has finally succeeded.
I looked at my watch, it’s 1am. I’ve been sleeping for the past 9 hours. I picked up my phone, the battery was remaining 5 percent. I’ve missed 30 calls. 20 from Chidinma and 5 each from Chioma and my dad.
My heart was pounding heavily. Has Chidinma called my dad to inform him of her pregnancy? She could do it. I know she’s mad. Maybe she thought I was going to run away from her. She had taken my parents phone number from my phone without my permission but I strictly warned her never to call them.
I couldn’t return the calls now, it’s already late. I couldn’t sleep anymore either. I was wide awake, pacing up and down my room begging God to give me a last chance. only sleeping in snatches.
I brought out my dusty Quran, it’s been a long time since I opened it. I began to mutter to God, begging for my life.
By 7am Chidinma called again, my phone switched off as I was about to pick up.
I ran out to borrow Emeka’s power bank. I was sure he brought a new girl home last night.
I knocked at his door and he came out to meet me.
“shhh, don’t disturb my visitor”
He said smiling.
” Oga just give me your power bank”
I was in no mood for his silly jokes. I might become an impromptu father in a couple of months.
He said he received a call from Chidinma last night asking if I was home but he didn’t talk much to her before ending the call.
” I no dey talk too much whenever I get package “
He said, boastfully.
Chidinma’s call came in almost Immediately I powered on my phone. And it was accompanied by the most precious news I’ve heard since I was born.
” baby I have seen my period”.
She said happily. Hot tears of joy rolled down my cheek. at last! God is really wonderful I thought.
” I was calling you through out last night to tell you. Where were you “?
I was not interested in whatever she was saying. I didn’t even ask her where she finally saw it, or how.
God has done it for me and I couldn’t stop saying thank you to him. I kept my Quran and tesbir(rosary) on the top of my television where anyone could easily see that I’m a Muslim
Emeka began playing loud music like he always does. Tu face’s ” rain drops”. It was a perfect song for my situation.
“young man, be careful and think twice. Before you choose to use your device. So you don’t have rain drops falling from your eyes “
My dad called to tell me he has transferred the 50k he promised me and he too was calling last night to confirm if I got it. I did.
It was a sweet end to a sad story. I escaped mine. be careful with all these girls you see around because you just might not escape yours. grin
